MVC set value to integer property of an object in session

Question

I have Customer class

public class Customer
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Surname{ get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string MobilePhone { get; set; }

    public int Type { get; set; }
}

In Index method of HomeController, I have created an instance of Customer and set values to properties.Then I stored it in session to get the object in Index(HttpPost) method which is in the same controller. In Index(HttpPost) method, I can get all the property values properly except 'Type' Property. When I get Customer object from session, 'Type' property of this object is always equal to 0.

public ActionResult Index(string id, string co)
{
    Customer cust = new Customer();
    cust.Name = "customer";
    cust.Surname = "test";
    cust.EMail = "[email protected]";
    cust.Type=2;

    Session["customer"] = cust;

    return View(customer);
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index()
{
    Customer customer = new Customer();
    if (Session["customer"] != null)
    {
        customer = (Customer)Session["customer"];
    }
    //customer.Type is equal 0
}

What could be the reason and how can it be avoided?

Thanks for replies in advance

Did you make sure that Session["customer"] was not null? Because if it was then you'll have that initial Customer that you created with all default values set to it's properties. — juharr

Yes. Other properties are not null or empty, they have the values which i set. — e_sezgin

Your code looks totally fine to me. Are you very sure that this is the exact code in your project ? No types (in the session key) ? — Shyju

Your code looks OK (except typos in cust.EMail -> cust.Email and return View(customer) -> return View(cust)) I even added this to my project and it works pretty well...
